Same face, different time (For empty_vessel)

"Jimmy?" Dean's voice was full of disbelief when he laid eyes on the man in front of him. There wasn't any doubt though, the change in his tone of voice and the way he spoke, his mannerisms. They were all... destinctly human and so familiar from the brief time he'd seen the man.

Well, this probably wasn't a good sign at all. "Where's Cas?"

Jimmy heads into the bathroom, to start stripping off his clothes and take his first shower in what feels like forever. He flips on the fluorescent lights, and flinches as he hears the hum. Pulls his arms tight around himself and shivers. Turns the big lights off, and opts to turn on the little ones framing the mirror. They don't make noise, and they're not as bright. So it's not as glaring when he sits down on the tub's edge to get himself back together.

The light's dim, but enough to see by, and it's a lot better than the fluorescent lights. Easier for him to get his head together, eventually.

While Jimmy freshens up, Dean settles at the computer and starts looking for... anything. He doesn't know what kind of trail he's looking for, but he's got to figure this out. Figure out what happened to Cas and figure out what to do with Jimmy in there.

It takes a while, but he does get done eventually; still a little shaky, still nervous, but clean and dry.

And swimming in Dean's clothes. The lost weight accentuates it, but that doesn't change the fact that Dean has four inches and thirty or so pounds on Jimmy under healthy circumstances.

"You... You said Sam... was.. was going out for food, right?"
